Hi, Currently, the reports that are generated and emailed to root are fine in what they do. however, a lot of the time there is actaully nothing of interest in these reports if nothing has gone wrong on the system etc. Basically I only want to know about the changes that have happened. This would be useful in cutting down the size of these emails esp. when you are receiving them from multiple fbsd servers.. :P example: * if there are no passwd/group diffs found, don't print anything out (not even the header). Same for setuid etc. diffs. * For the 'df' status, only report filesystems that are over a certain capacity (95% or only xxMb left etc..) and the same for all the other tests..basically if there's nothing to report don't print anything (not even the header) otherwise print the header and the results..
